me & balthazara playing piano + dawn project 7

the middle 4 minutes of this weeks improvisation... the audio and the video not sitting together right... which is irritating, not my end i don't think, youtube being typically rubbish, but that's where the audience is...

oh to have this vain notion that i want to be popular on youtube and for youtube to be so shaky...

oh well,

watched a program about robyn hitchcock last night on BBC4 and i was delighted to see Gillian Welch & David Rawlings being interviewed... robyn hitchcock was interesting but not always to my taste... anyway the program finished and i'd finished my wine by now, dinah asleep curled up against me and to my surprise there was a BBC4 session featuring gillian welch & david rawlings straight after...

i was in heaven, they did a song i'd never heard before - title something like "what you made" - and a killer version of revelator...

shops in slippers

i hadn't made it out of the house all day and i was strolling to the shops to get some halloumi for tonights meal and i was wearing slippers...

i'd noticed just before i left the house and i hadn't ever done it before so i wondered what it's like... i now know what it's like to go the shops in slippers...

anyway, i was coming back, with the halloumi, rubbing at my eye in that hayfeverish way and my left contact lens came out and tumbled to the ground...

so i've just been down in the kitchen, somewhat complicatedly washing my lenses, putting them in 2 glasses, washing the container in boiling water, and transferring the lenses to the now clean container...

all to the not distant enough sound of one of my least favourite housemates practising voice movement therapy in the bath... much howling and singing at the top of her voice, a voice i don't really like listening to at a normal volume...

a touch of gillian welch now before going downstairs to eat our meal...

a strangely creative day i've had...

my last free day before returning to work tomorrow...
